Monitoring and Debugging

Many of the tools traditionally used for debugging and monitoring applications do not carry over to FaaS, which creates a need for new solutions. Watchtower [1] monitors runtime invariants for FaaS applications. Borges et al. [2] design and evaluate multiple approaches to distributed tracing. Manner et al. [3] provide a combined monitoring and debugging solution for FaaS.
